"The NY Times Published Poet"

If you've spent a significant amount of time using New York City's transit system during the past two decades, chances are you've come across Donald Green, who writes and sells his poems to commuters riding the city's subways and refers to himself as "The NY Times Published Poet." (One of his poems was reprinted in the paper as part of an article by Bruce Weber back in 2000). In this video by Rebecca Sanchez, Green reads some of his recent work. According to Sanchez, Green says he plans to leave the streets this summer "for a more peaceful work space, in the hopes of someday completing a manuscript for a novel."
